...willing to change courses in a token gesture toward relaxing student-faculty relations, yet there is widespread support for the "C+ is still a plus better than C" theory. An English department study committee will probably recommend one new non-graded course for next year, but chairman Warren G. Bloomfield is typical in insisting that "customers who but our graduate students need a grade criterion to judge students that general criticisms don't provide...

King is near fifty and he has paid his dues.
